Slippin' Into Darkness
War · Icon [2011]
Slippin' into darkness
Take my mind beyond the dreams
I was slippin' into darkness
Take my mind beyond the dreams
Where I talk to my brother, oh, oh, oh
Who never said their name
Slippin' into darkness
When I heard my mother say
I was slippin' into darkness
When I heard my mother say
(Hey, what'd she say, what'd she say)
You been slippin' into darkness, oh, oh, oh
Pretty soon you're gonna pay
oh, oh, oh, oh
Take my mind beyond the dreams
I was slippin' into darkness
Take my mind beyond the dreams
Where I talk to my brother, oh, oh, oh
Who never said their name
Slippin' into darkness
When I heard my mother say
I was slippin' into darkness
When I heard my mother say
(Hey, what'd she say, what'd she say)
You been slippin' into darkness, oh, oh, oh
Pretty soon you're gonna pay
oh, oh, oh, oh
